Benefits of technology

[0024]The present inventors have recognized the above problems, have performed many experiments and studies to solve the problems, and have ascertained that, in a cotton sanitary pad configured such that a cotton lining, an absorption pad and a waterproof cover are sequentially stacked and a pair of wings is formed at both sides thereof, like a conventional cotton sanitary pad, the cotton sanitary pad is fixed to the underwear by the pair of wings, thus preventing the vertical and lateral movement of the cotton sanitary pad, and also, the outer surface of the waterproof cover, which is in contact with the underwear, is provided with a non-slip member, thus preventing the longitudinal movement of the cotton sanitary pad, thereby more effectively preventing absorbate from leaking, enabling active motion on the part of the user, and minimizing skin damage or rash on the human body, which culminates in the present invention.

[0030]According to the present invention, a non-slip cotton sanitary pad includes a cotton lining to thus minimize skin damage due to contact with the sanitary pad, and also includes a menstrual blood (urine) absorption pad made of a natural material, thus being capable of replacing chemical sanitary pads that release harmful substances, and can be reused after being washed, which can reduce the consumption of disposable products.

[0031]Also, the cotton sanitary pad includes a pair of wings for fixing the cotton sanitary pad and a fastener provided to the wings so as to prevent vertical and lateral movement of the cotton sanitary pad, and furthermore, a non-slip member is formed on the surface of the waterproof cover that contacts the underwear, thereby effectively preventing longitudinal movement of the cotton sanitary pad even without adhesion to or contact with the human body.

[0032]The movement of the cotton sanitary pad in all possible directions is limited, whereby menstrual blood can be effectively prevented from leaking even upon small or large motions or daily activities of women wearing the same.

Problems solved by technology

Recently, due to the controversy over the harmful effects of a polymer absorbent, which is a chemical substance used in disposable sanitary napkins, on human bodies, cotton sanitary napkins that do not contain chemical products such as polymer absorbents or waterproof sheets and that may decrease the use of disposable products are receiving a great deal of attention.

The lining that comes into direct contact with the human body is configured to be soft and feel good to the touch so as not to harm the human skin, but is problematic in that harmful volatile organic substances are released owing to the use of chemical fibers advantageous from the aspects of manufacturing costs and processing costs.

Furthermore, the lining of the disposable sanitary napkin is limited in improving the quality thereof from the viewpoint of disposable use, and is thus problematic in that a weakly durable material or a chemical fiber material is used, undesirably causing a rash on the skin in direct contact therewith.

Moreover, in order to fix the sanitary napkin to the underwear, it is common to use an adhesive made of an organic chemical substance having high fixing capability and high detachment capability considering the price from the viewpoint of disposable use, and the harmfulness of conventional disposable sanitary napkins has reached a serious level.

With regard thereto, many users who have been using disposable sanitary napkins for many years suffer from various symptoms such as menstrual irregularities, atopy, and skin sensitization.

However, the cotton sanitary napkin is repeatedly used after being washed based on the properties of the material thereof and thus has a limitation in that it is impossible to add an adhesive member for a disposable product, such as an adhesive or double-sided tape.

However, when the sanitary napkin is fixed by the wings having the snap buttons, the movement of the sanitary napkin in the direction in which the wings protrude may be somewhat prevented, but there is no means for preventing movement in the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wings protrude, that is, in the front and back directions of the human body, in the state of wearing the sanitary napkin.

In particular, contemporary women who repeatedly stand and sit frequently suffer from menstrual blood leakage to the rear, especially the hips, and it is essential to prevent the longitudinal movement of the cotton sanitary napkin because menstrual blood may leak more frequently upon forward movement of the sanitary napkin.

Nevertheless, the development of cotton sanitary napkins to solve this problem has not reached a satisfactory level, and it is necessary to overcome the problem of frequent menstrual blood leakage due to the longitudinal movement of the cotton sanitary pad in daily life such as walking or upon rolling about on the bed for the cotton sanitary napkin users.

Here, hook-and-loop closures have to be provided to the underwear using additional adhesion means or through sewing, and thus a specific underwear (provided with hook-and-loop closures) and a specific sanitary napkin need to be used, and the above utility model is problematic because the convenience of typical sanitary napkins that may be attached or fixed to the general underwear is significantly deteriorated.

However, the above utility model is counter to the purpose and effect of the cotton sanitary napkin, namely, that of minimizing the transfer of harmful substances to the human body and skin irritation owing to the use of cotton at the portion contacting the human body.

In particular, the reason why the demand for the cotton sanitary napkin, which has to be washed in order to be used repeatedly and which is very inconvenient to stow and carry in order to be washed later, is remarkably increased among women is that the portion thereof contacting the human body is made of cotton and the waterproof sheet for the waterproofing function is configured not to contact the human body.

Hence, the tight strips made of silicone, which contact the human body, are unsuitable for use in cotton sanitary napkins.

Furthermore, the above utility model is characterized in that it prevents skin rash or injury caused by friction between the sanitary napkin and the human body, but the tight strips made of silicone are constantly in contact with the human body while wearing the sanitary napkin, and thus minimal friction occurs and in particular silicone is in contact with the skin at high frictional force, so that the resultant skin rash may be more severe.

No matter how soft the silicone is, if the silicone is in contact with the user's body while wearing the sanitary napkin for 3 days to 10 days, it will cause skin damage.

Accordingly, the tight strips made of silicone, which cause a foreign feeling due to contact with the skin, are unsuitable for use in cotton sanitary napkins.

Meanwhile, urinary incontinence pads and diapers, having functions similar to sanitary napkins, have the same problems as above.

Also, there is a serious problem in that urinary incontinence pads, which are mainly used for aged persons, cause more damage due to contact between various chemical substances and the skin of the aged persons, and thus the use of cotton sanitary pads is expected to increase day by day.
